Hi,

i created new user account. But when i log in in with Firefox (version 28.0), i get kicked out in a few seconds. I removed all cookies etc. but that didn't help.
I can log in successfully with Chrome and everything is working ok. Have you any ideas why this happens?
Situation is pretty silly, because i want to use Firefox. (Firefox is my primary browser and its open and awesome).

Greetings,
Jarmo

This is quite unusual - there is nothing which should stop you from using Firefox with the forum.
Can you please check for and remove any cookies set for .kde.org itself (next level up from forum.kde.org) in case that is causing the issue?

Hi. Thanks for Your answer. I removed all cookies, but unfortunately that didn't help. I also disabled HTTPS Everywhere plugin and Adblock Plus plugin, but the situation still the same. :(

Does it happen when you use private browsing as well?
To open a private window use File->New Private Window

Try clearing your Firefox cache, for details:

Now try to log in from a normal window. If it doesn't work, try disabling each add-on or plugin one by one till it works.

I cleared cache and disabled all add-ons and plugins but that didn't help. Then I cleared all cached data and all cookies (not just *.kde.org) and now it seems to be working ok and all plugins and add-ons are enabled. Thank You.
